    To be honest, Black mirror is not a prophecy. It merely is a speculation.

      it is not a speculation nor a prophecy lol, it’s stories exploring the human condition with technology as the driver of the story

          Merriam-Webster definition for “explore” 1a:

          to investigate, study, or analyze : look into
          ➡️sometimes used with indirect questions

          This definition makes no distinction between factual and speculative, and in fact invites speculative use with the second point. Additionally, there’s a long history of using the word “explore” in this exact type of situation.

          Anyway, the point is, don’t be such a wet blanket, plz.
